Juices are essential as a pre and post work out snack. Most people would think in order to make a good healthy juice, an expensive equipment such as a juice extractor is needed. There is a bit of truth in that but not really. All you’re going to need is a simple blender. Using a blender makes life easier especially when it comes to washing up afterwards. Plus it only takes a few minutes to prepare.

As an added benefit, the juices made by a blender would provide a more filling and fiber filled snack for the consumer. This is in comparison to those juices made by a juice extractor.
